Need help for replace HID.
Hi
I just got my Gen5. I tried to replace HID into my prelude but I don't know how?
I cannot make it. Do you have recommend? Or Where I can find the research?

wait what? i'm confused. do you need help replacing your hid bulbs? or halogens for hids? you can find hid "conversion kits" for 80 on ebay. just type that and you're all set. good luck finding a way to keep the bulb seated into the headlight.. i had to fab up my own mount for it and it's a bitch to take off. like aforementioned, you should look into retrofits like me.. trust me.. hid bulbs dont do jack **** besides blinding other people. sure it's bright, but none of that gets throw into the road where it's important. just into the air where it's useless. the only thing i like about mine are the fact that i can blind people who cut me off or drives like an *** and the fact that it lights up the signs on the freeway at night really well.. lol

fyi prelude1897 (brian) is not avaliable untill mid november, hes in nigeria...
and yes, what exactly are you asking?
if your saying the bulbs will not fit in the stock bulb hole, you need to get a drill and wallow out the hole so the bulbs will fit, but make sure the plastic dust dosent get in to the housing or it looks like crap, to mount mine i took the thick rubber gasket that came with the hids and cut it to fit around the base of the bulb and just pulled the clip from the headlight over the gasket and it fit fine after that. your ballasts will be a s.o.b to mount, i just set them below the headlight, but i dont recommend that
